Alternate Formats for Text

Instructor using white board

Alternate formats for text is available for eligible students. Students in need of this accommodation work with the Document Conversion Coordinator to obtain books in audio format through various venues. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of current assistive technology on their own computers or in the Assistive Technologies Center located in the W.E.B. DuBois Library. Students must request document conversion services or alternate formats for text well in advance of when they are needed.

Document Converter Tool (RoboBraille/ SensusAccess) is an online document converter tool that generates alternate formats for uploaded files at no cost to users. (Requires a umass.edu email address.)
